). It is saved in my Downloads, so I tried this command
sudo apt-get install ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb
After reading the package list it responds:
E: Unsupported file /home/stockton/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb given on command line

Any help will be great.
